VIEWER .IAM / .STP / .STEP

[mauro.beretta]

Dear All,

I am looking for a viewer which permit my team to have a look at the IAM/STEP files I made for them.

They tried the INVENTOR VIEW but it doesnt give the possibility to HIDE/UNHIDE parts and groups.

Of course the PC where they have to see such files dont have an autodesk license.

thanks in advance for your prompt feedback,

Regards,

If you have Inventor 2020, these users could use the new function read only mode but its not going to work on step files.

Update:  Viewing in your A360 account might be another solution for you.

I haven't tested this out to your Hide/Unhide requirements, but https://viewer.autodesk.com/

will read many file types and does not require installation of software as it is cloud-based and works in your browser.

eDrawings says it will open Inventor .iam and .ipt files...

I tried it on my machine, but I have eDrawings 2018 and Inventor 2019 installed.  I'm not sure the older version of eDrawings actually understands the newer version of the Inventor files...

Hi,

I will go with INVENTOR READ ONLY MODE. It will perfectly fits my needs.

I had some doubt on how handle the "customer project" since I work on a main project and then all the customers will have their customization. 

I think that instead making STEP files for customers I will make PACK&GO of every customer assembly to keep track of their exactly history and versioning. Sounds good to you guys ?

Hello! 

I know wikifactory has a 3D viewer online, free if the file is open source and not much money if it's private. 

I hope it helps you!
